I don't understand this. Why are you suggesting that an article wizard tool
is comparable to the submission form/human work combination that PediaPress
uses?

PediaPress takes the user input and then humans create and ship a book.
Sarah is suggesting taking user input and then having humans create and
publish an article. There isn't a requirement that magic be involved, though
I think it's reasonable to say that the form submission code should be open
source. If the form submission code were open source, would it be acceptable
to put a link to such an article-writing service on every page?
